  Cook raw food on a fire or cooking range.

  Usage: cook <item>    Cook a specific item
         cook           Show all items you can cook right now

  Cooking requires a heat source — either a lit fire or a cooking
  range. Some recipes (like baking bread) require a cooking range
  and cannot be done on an open fire. The fire does not need to
  stay lit throughout — cooking continues regardless.

  Each item takes 6 ticks to cook. A Cooking skill check determines
  whether you produce a cooked item or a burnt one. On failure, you
  get a burnt variant instead of the cooked food.

  Typing "cook" with no arguments shows a menu of everything you
  can cook with your current inventory and the available station.
  If only one thing can be cooked, it starts immediately.

  If multiple recipes exist for the same ingredient, a menu appears
  letting you choose which to make.

  You can also cook by using items on a cooking station:
    use trout on fire
    use raw shrimps on range
